Madonna wants Blanchett in musical

Madonna wants Cate Blanchett to star in her new musical.

The ‘4 Minutes’ singer is set to direct and produce ‘Wallis’ – following the life of American socialite Wallis Simpson, who Britain’s King Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry – and wants the ‘Notes On A Scandal’ actress to take on the lead role opposite ‘Doctor Who’ actor David Tennant after opting against casting Keira Knightley.
